I’m currently in Belgrade, Serbia. Google tells me I was here about a year ago. After parking in front of a friend’s home for a few days I moved to Camp Dunav campsite a little bit out of the city.

When Olli and I was here last we met a young dog who ‘belonged’ to the campsite… Its quite a typical arrangment here. Businesses would put food and water out for one or two dogs who then claim that space and protect it. But they tend to have to fend for themselves, sleep outside etc so it can be quite hard on them.

I was delighted to see this dog doing well, as he is a gentle soul that loves to chase shadows and play with your feet! He was so happy to see us again and play a bit. He gets on well with Olli. I call him Fred and today I taught him to shake my hand with his paw, it took no time at all.

He learned by watching what Olli does. I doubt however if I can teach him to roll over as he was very amused when Olli did this and thought it was a game! Lovely dog, Fred. See you next year!
